tier 2 general new hire restricted

[mamaBABAMAMA]

hi
i am currently in UK with my family under tier 5 (visa issued on 20 sep 2013). my employer has now issued me a COS for tier 2 general new hire restricted for a period of 3 years (my job is also on a short occupancy list). i am interested in applying for IRL in future. my query is
1. will my tier 5 duration of 2 yrs will count for ILR
2. can i reapply for tier 2 (3 YEARS) after this tier 2 without cooling period (to live outside uk for 12 month) so i can apply for ILR

THANKS AND REGARDS

AIUI Tier 5 counts towards 10 year route to ILR but not 5.

Which sub-category of Tier 5?

1. No.
2. Yes, if your employer agrees to continue to sponsor you so that you can extend your stay or if you can find a new employer who can issue you a CoS before your initial 3 years on Tier 2 (G) run out.
